<p>This work focuses mainly on the Geotechnical properties of mapped areas in Gombe town which forms part of the Upper Benue trough. Representative soil samples were collected from these areas and were investigated for their Geotechnical properties with a ...

<p>This paper presents the results of a series of piezoball penetration and<br />dissipation tests carried out at two well characterized soft soil sites in Ireland.<br />Piezoball data are compared with piezocone data, in addition to other in situ and laboratory ...

This research presents the correlation of undrained shear strength based on the cone resistance from the cone penetration test (CPT) for clayey soils in Indiana. It utilized the field cone penetration test program including the CPT, the index test, the one ...

<p>Many empirical and theoretical CPT interpretation methods are broadly accepted and used in practice. These approaches tend to consider whether the cone penetration is drained or undrained, and then will consider the soil as either &ldquo;sand&rdquo; or ...

This paper describes the results of a detailed analysis of a loess deposit at the deep foundations test site established by the Kansas Department of Transportation. Multiple CPT, SPT, and pressuremeter tests were conducted as part of the investigation. This ...

This report explores the current practices of departments of transportation associated with cone penetration testing (CPT). The report examines cone penetrometer equipment options field testing procedures CPT data presentation and geostratigraphic profiling ...

This is intended to be a reference manual for Geotechnical Engineers. It is principally a data book for the practicing Geotechnical Engineer and Engineering Geologist, which covers: The planning of the site investigation. The classification of soil and rock. ...

<p>This manual provides RIDOT engineers with clear and concise guidelines for understanding, planning, conducting, and evaluating geotechnical site investigations in Rhode Island. The advantages and disadvantages of both standard and specialized site investigation ...

This paper discusses the relative advantages and disadvantages in the application of the cone penetration test to geotechnical site characterization in karst. It presents cone penetration test data collected at two project sites in deeply weathered, clay-mantled ...

Triaxial testing has been used for many years by geotechnical engineers, to monitor the response of soils to varying stress conditions. Similarly, Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) has been tested, using triaxial systems, to determine the reaction of the material to both ...
